Frequently asked questions

How do you decorate an entryway table for Christmas?

Layer three things: greenery like a real-touch garland, light from lanterns or candles, and one statement piece such as a snow globe lantern.

How do you make Christmas entry decor look elegant?

Stick to a tight palette like black, ivory and green, and group items in odd numbers.

Are flameless candles good for an entry table?

Yes. Remote and timer candles can glow every evening without anyone remembering to blow them out.

What goes on a Christmas console table?

A garland as the base, a few lanterns or pillar candles, a vase of pine and a lit tree or snow globe.
